Die Suche nach vermisst geltenden Flugzeugen dauert meist eine gefühlte Ewigkeit. Der achtjährige Benjamin hat eine Idee. Seine Skizze geht um die Welt.
Mother and son team to pedal across the Atlantic - Images. With the goal of drawing attention to the mass extinction of species caused by human activity, a mother-and-son team from South Africa is aiming to cross the south Atlantic on a customized boat powered solely with a pedal system.

Experienced adventurer Davey du Plessis (27), a raw vegan environmentalist, author and speaker, will lead the 6,450-km (4,008-mi) crossing that is expected to launch in late November, weather permitting. His mother, Robyn Wolff (50), who is also vegan, will be on the boat pedaling with him.
"Fool's gold" nanocrystals present cheap, abundant alternative to lithium in batteries. As energy production moves towards solar and wind-powered alternatives, battery systems to store intermittently-produced electricity have never been more important.

A camera the size of a smartphone, that takes photos the quality of a 52-megapixel DSLR, zooms optically between 35 and 150mm, shoots great images in low light, and lets you select focus and depth of field after you shoot. It sounds like more than one camera can handle – and that’s because it’s actually 16 cameras in one. The Light camera squeezes in 16 tiny smartphone-type cameras, each with its own inexpensive small lens at focal lengths between 35 and 150 mm. When you take a shot, up to 10 of these cameras fire at once, focusing on different points and taking different exposure levels.
Untitled. Bees modular bike transforms and adapts to your riding.

For generations, mountain bikers have had to make the sometimes difficult choice between affordable, nimble-climbing hardtails and fast, cushy full-suspension bikes.

German company Altinsoy Manufaktur has a different idea. Its Bees Bike has a completely modular design that lets you quickly change over from hardtail to full suspension. You can also adjust sizing and positioning with ease. One of the interesting standouts at Eurobike 2015, the Bees Bike makes clear that it's not your typical bicycle from the moment it catches your eye. Even in a world where we have everything from wooden bicycles, to diminutive folding bicycles, to bicycles dressed up as motorcycles, the Bees Bike stands out.
Universität Düsseldorf: Wahrnehmung von Reizen im Gehirn: Im Daumenkino-Modus.

Now scientists and engineers working at The University of Texas at Austin (UT) have finally discovered the organic mechanism responsible for this in an animal. Looking just like a microscopic TV antenna, the structure has been found in the brain of a tiny roundworm that uses it to work out which way to burrow through the soil.

This breakthrough may help scientists discover how other species with internal compasses use the magnetic field of our planet to pilot their course.

Imaging tool lets scientists look inside brain at nanoscale resolution. The human brain contains more synapses than there are galaxies in the observable universe (to put a number on it, there are perhaps 100 trillion synapses versus 100 billion galaxies), and now scientists can see them all – individually.
Bionicon's e-ram mountain bike motor is light and low-profile. While hub motors may be quite common on commuter e-bikes, they’re not so popular on full-suspension electric mountain bikes.

That’s because they add unsprung weight, which nobody wants.
A monolithic white laser : Nature Nanotechnology. Citroën's new Bluesummer EV – any color they want, as long as it's blue. In a few months, a new 100-percent-electric car will be on the market – in France, at least. Called the Bluesummer, the two-door four-seat convertible was designed by electrical systems manufacturer the Bolloré Group, but will be built and distributed by Peugeot Citroën. The car will tip the scales at 1,285 kg (2,833 lb), have a top speed of 110 km/h (68 mph), and an urban range of 200 km (124 miles) per charge of its 30-kWh lithium-metal-polymer battery.

Rocks reveal secret of Moon's formation. There are a number of ideas about where the Moon came from, but, based on orbital mechanics, the accepted theory is that about 150 million years after the Solar System formed some 4.6 billion years ago, the primordial Earth was struck by an object the size of Mars called Theia. Out of the debris of this massive impact, the Moon was formed. This theory fit most of the facts, but not all of them.

Ob wir wollen oder nicht, auch der Mensch, dieses egomanische Kulturwesen, unterliegt dem starken selektiven Wandel der Natur - möge er sich auch noch so emanzipiert fühlen und seine Instinkte am liebsten in eine stille evolutionäre Schmuddelecke mit dem Hinweis „Darwinismus, nicht berühren“ stecken.
Italian company hopes to market synthetic eyeballs. Italian research studio Mhox's EYE concept could see a future where people replace their natural eyes with technologically-enhanced bioprinted ones Image Gallery (7 images) Imagine being able to see in black and white or with an Instagram-like filter, or to have what you see through your eyes transmitted wirelessly, simply by swallowing a pill. Or imagine having vision so sharp and accurate that your visual acuity is on par with the most sight-adept people in the world. Italian research studio Mhox hopes to one day make this a reality with its EYE concept, which would offer 3D bioprinted eyes that replace your existing eyeballs.
